Ultradent Donating 80,000 Fluoride Varnish Treatments Throughout Utah

Ultradent Products, Inc., a leading developer and manufacturer of high-tech dental materials, is announcing a partnership with the University of Utah School of Dentistry to distribute up to 80,000 free fluoride varnish treatments to communities across Utah.

More than 10,000 treatment doses have already been shipped to local health centers and participating Head Start centers. The remaining treatments are being sent throughout the fall.

“Fluoride has proven oral health benefits and we know Utah families remain committed to ensuring their children benefit from its protection,” says Ultradent President and CEO Dirk Jeffs. “We hope these fluoride varnish treatments will mitigate some of the impacts of fluoride’s removal from public water supplies in our state. We're proud to partner with the University of Utah School of Dentistry and local health professionals to bridge the gap in access and give children the opportunity for a healthier, brighter smile.”

The University of Utah School of Dentistry is providing training resources to ensure health care workers effectively administer the treatments.

"Ultradent's generous donation will help boost the University of Utah School of Dentistry's mission to serve underserved communities across Utah in improving oral health,” says Heidi Iongi, DMD, MPH, Director of Community Engagement and Clinical Integration for the University of Utah School of Dentistry.
